A: How many do you see?B: There are four fingers, Arthur.

A: Look at me. Youre focusing on the problem.

If you focus on the problem you cant see the solution.

Never focus on the problem. Look at me. Look beyondthe fingers. How many do you see?

B: I see eight.

A: Eight is a good answer. See what no one else sees.

See what everyone else chooses not to see out

of fear or conformity or laziness. See the wholeworld anew each day.

The old wise saying 'the show

must go on' is important; no matter

what events precede a performance,

the smiles must come out, the lights

must go on and the magic between

the performers and the audiencemust be there.

A teacher can and should advance in professionalexpertise and knowledge throughout his or her

career, and such advances do not depend on formal

courses or external input.

You have within your own teaching routine the main

tools for personal progress: your own experience andyour reflections on it, interaction with other teachers

in your institution.

Teacher development takes place when teachers,

working as individuals or in a group, consciouslytake advantage of such resources to forward their

own professional learning.

(Penny UrinA Course in Language Teaching,

Cambridge University Press)

To go beyond the limits of English Class ...


23/37

Patch Adams

Love is Contagious

Going beyond limits also means valuing every learner as

a unique human being with a great learning potential.


24/37

Going beyond limits also means valuing

ourselves as unique human beings

You are more than you pretend to beYou are more than what most eyes can see

You are more than all your history

Look inside and you will find

Theres glory in your mind

Come be the kind of person you would be!

A Passion for the Possible (1998)

by Jean Houston

HarperSanFrancisco


25/37

You are more than cell and blood and boneYou are more than just your name alone

You are more than all that you may own

Look around you everywhere

Theres something that we share

The magic in the air is you!


26/37

You are more than some statistic chartYou are more than the sum of all your parts

You are more inside your heart of hearts

You know that it is trueThis being that is you

Has miracles to do

Believe ...

FIGURATIVE One or two of the tourists broke away

from the tour group.

(Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary)

By reflecting on our teaching/learning practice we might

let go of the ropes that prevent us from breaking away

Grew up in a small townAnd when the rain would fall down

I'd just stare out my window

Dreaming of what could be

And if I'd end up happy

I would pray

Trying hard to reach outBut when I tried to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So I prayed I could break away


30/37

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to flyI'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish

Take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget all the ones that I love

I'll take a risk, take a chanceMake a change

And break away

Wanna feel the warm breezeSleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean

Get on board a fast trainTravel on a jet plane, far away

And break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to flyI'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish


And break away


But I won't forget all the ones that I love

Gotta take a risk, take a chanceMake a change

And break away

Buildings with a hundred floorsSwinging around revolving doors

Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but

But gotta keep moving on, moving onFly away, break away
